Liverpool's film and TV industry continues to boom
New figures from Liverpool City Council's Film Office, part of North West Vision, reveal they organised the equivalent of 632 days of filming during 2005, beating the previous record of 612 days of filming in 2003.
Staff assisted with 182 productions last year, while the number of enquiries from producers rocketed by 38 percent to 250.
Council leader Warren Bradley said: "Liverpool has a fantastic reputation within the film industry for providing great locations and expert support for film makers.
"As a result, we are seeing an unprecedented level of interest in using Liverpool for making television series and feature films.
"This is a growing industry which sustains jobs and supports many local businesses and it is vital that we do all we can to welcome film makers with open arms."
